Paris, Simply Amazing
Paris 2008 My best ever slideshow? Hold on tight because this slideshow whips through 182 images in about 5 min! This very well may be the best set of images I've ever put together. It has it all, the candid moments, fine art, photojournalism, glamour, romance, postcard moments, etc. For some reason, Paris always seems to inspire me. This slideshow is my best attempt at showing what it is like to be in Paris at one of my workshops. What doesn't communicate very well is the learning and bonding that happens. I am so glad to hear that the experience is often life changing for some and it is such a joy to give everything I know to those who really want to learn and grow. I just want to thank all those who came to this workshop, it was special indeed! We had people from all over the world- Canada, US, UK and Africa. Once everyone post images of this workshop, I will post links to their work. It was so nice to grow so close to these people. The bad part about the workshop is leaving and the emptiness many of us experience. Thank goodness for Facebook, it helps ease the pain of separation!! There were so many amazing moments- staying out way past 2am at a cafe and all of us talking deeply about life, relationships, etc. From a photography point of view, nothing beats hanging out at the Castle that we rented (thanks Arielle for hooking us up!) To shoot in that place is a photographer's dream, the day just evolved into something special, just hard to explain. When you do something amazing and share the experience with friends, it is the greatest feeling and is so intoxicating. Going out dancing the last night was very memorable too, especially eating pizza in our hotel afterwards at 3am and laughing till our guts hurt until 5am. What made it special was that I had an engagement session with a client the next morning at 9am. I got about one hour of sleep that night! I would also die for another one of those chocolate and banana crepes- just sooo yummy.
It is funny how many people come to my workshops for the teaching but what surprises them the most is the experience and community that is overwhelming- everyone wanting and pursuing many of the same things in life and finding people going through many of the same struggles. Everyone helping each other to get to the next level. It's kinda like finding paradise for a few days- experiencing many of the things we want out of life- adventure, beauty, learning life changing concepts, a healthy community, experiencing new and exciting worlds. This big, bad (as in good) world is amazing and to not experience it is a complete shame.
To my fellow workshop people- I can't wait till our paths cross again, some in just a few weeks in Spain! I am blessed to be a part of your life. So I end this post with a few lyrics to the song in this slideshow.... still think the world of you still want the best of you still feel the best is yet to come...
Indeed the best is yet to come, I can not wait to see where life will take us all.
Here are a few preview photos...

Hey Scott, that is a great set of images. I think I will have to watch it over and over to really take in all that it has. Looks like you had another great workshop and blessed those who were fortunate enough to attend. Hopefully one day I will be able to make it to one of these distant workshops. Thanks for the constant inspiration.
